Making Homemade Fresh Pasta Noodles

Several months ago, my husband gave me the gift of a KitchenAid pasta maker attachment. To be honest with you, I was excited, but a little intimidated. I’m not sure why, but making your own pasta just seemed like it would be quite the process. I’ve made my moms homemade egg noodles for her delicious and oh so easy Chicken and Noodles recipe, but the thought of actual shaped pasta? It just seemed like it would be more trouble than it was worth.

I’m here to fess up to you all… I was wrong. I found out yesterday that making homemade pasta using the KitchenAid pasta attachment is…

(that says Fun, if you aren’t fluent in pasta)

You should have seen how excited I was when my little pieces of rigatoni were all laid out. I felt like I had accomplished something really huge. Oh…and do you want to know a little secret? It was beyond easy. I won’t tell that to just anyone because I want there to be some big gasp of amazement when they hear that I made my own pasta, but I feel like we’re friends…you can know that making homemade pasta using the KitchenAid attachment is about as simple as it gets.

Oh – can I tell you one more thing? I made an Italian Chicken and Pasta dish using the homemade Rigatoni noodles and it was so good. It may have just been me, but knowing that I made the pasta from scratch just made the dish all that much better! (I’ll share that recipe with you later in the week, I promise!)

What are you waiting for? Get in the kitchen and have some fun making your own homemade, fresh pasta noodles. You’ll love it, I promise!

My hubby bought me the KitchenAid pasta attachment for Christmas and I LOVE IT. The thought of making homemade pasta just seemed too intimidating to me, but now, I will never go back to boxed pasta again. What could be easier, or taste better than a homemade pasta tossed with garlic and olive oil? So quick, easy and super tasting. Plus, no one needs to know that you didn’t spend hours in the kitchen.

I just purchased this after two other brands broke . I love it!!
I thought the rigatoni was a bit heavy. Does anyone have a recipe for lighter rigatoni. I used 1 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup semolina, 2 eggs, olive oil and a little water.

[…] and I can tell you that the taste and flavor of homemade pasta noodles can’t be beat. Using a pasta press such as the KitchenAid Extruder Attachment or Pasta Roller makes creating homemade pasta a little […]

[…] It’s been awhile since I told y’all I got a pasta maker, but I FINALLY put it to use. It turned out fabulous. This is a super easy, basic pasta recipe that I used on my Remy Olivier Pasta Machine, taken from this site. […]
